Let's start with the news that more than ?1 million has now been donated

to help the animals affected by a fire at a dogs home yesterday.

The blaze at Manchester dogs home meant more than 150 dogs had

Sadly some dogs didn't survive but people across the UK have given

money, food and blankets to help the ones that were saved.

Police looking into what started the fire have arrested a teenager.

Next to the world's first footy pitch, powered by players' feet.

It's just been opened by kids in Brazil and Hayley's got the details.

The World Cup may well be over but Priscilla is showing off a brand-new

specially built playing surface, in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. This is

the first player powered football pitch. The more you run, the more

energy is created to power the floodlights that light up the pitch.

The technology behind it was developed by a UK company and these

kids were the first to give it a go. How does it work? These are special

tieless, laid under the surface, turn the energy of movement into

electricity. It is hoped that technology can help fuel the future

by storing the energy created by us as we walk, in a shopping centres

and train stations. It can be used in busy areas where there are people

walking. Localised lighting, football pitches, anywhere where

there are people. It can go straight into the local grid. It is hoped to

developments like this in place as Brazil will help show kids that the

dreams are not limited to footballing fame like legend Pele,

but that science and technologies the future, and a refined poor

children that there are other opportunities for young people, not

just football. It is an opportunity for the new generation. They can see

it is not just football. Now, science two. The kids will be more

aware of this. More opportunity. This is a fantastic opportunity. The

technology is new and doesn't come cheap but powering a football pitch

is one small example of what one may day be a reality in towns and

cities. Finally to the must-have gadget to

help you with your household chores. This is Boris,

the dishwasher-loading robot. He uses sensors on his face

and wrists to work out how to grab plates and put them in.

He cost ?350,000 to build and the people behind it think he

could be in homes by 2015. We're back at 11.55am.

See you then.
